Coburn was back on the ice for practice on Friday, but the Flyers won't make a decision on his status for tomorrow's game until after the morning skate. He skated with Andrew MacDonald this morning, which is a good sign that he is ready.
Coburn did not take part in line rushes originally, but did towards the end of the skate, which suggests he could be back for Saturday's clash with the Stars. With two more days before their next game, the Flyers have time to take a good look at Coburn before deciding if he is ready to go.
Coburn will miss his third straight game tonight, but getting back on the ice tomorrow would be a big step for the Flyers defenseman who was originally expected to miss a lengthy period of time. There is no timetable for his return, but the injury is not nearly as serious as the Flyers originally feared.
Coburn was reportedly on crutches on Monday, but the Flyers called Coburn day-to-day. Coburn has missed the last two games and will likely miss at least a few more games.
The Flyers defenseman was spotted on crutches yesterday after he was ruled out of Thursday's game and the Flyers feared the worst. “We’ve actually gotten better news than we had yesterday, but until Monday we won’t be able to be definitive,” the Flyers general manager said, adding that Coburn still had to see a specialist. For now, consider Coburn day-to-day.
There was no report of an injury to Coburn this morning, but the news just came down as the Flyers hit the ice for warmups. Nick Schultz will slide into the lineup and make his Flyers regular season debut.
General manager Paul Holmgren did not provide an update on his injury Friday, but the fact that the team recalled defenseman Oliver Lauridsen and placed Coburn on injured reserve suggests the injury is more than just a nagging one.
The Flyers recalled dman Oliver Lauridsen Friday. An update on Coburn should come Friday.
If you own Coburn, make sure to adjust your lineup for tonight's game. The 6'5" defender gives the team's blue line a physical edge but won't jump out as a fantasy hockey stud.
With Kevin Marshall back in Adirondack, it seems highly likely that Coburn draws back in. The 6'5" defender gives the team's blue line a physical edge but won't jump out as a fantasy hockey stud.
Coburn has a mild concussion and is expected to miss at least the next two games.
